Summary

Dr. Derrick Todd, a former Boston rheumatologist accused of sexually abusing over 200 patients since 2010, was indicted by a Massachusetts grand jury on two counts of rape involving incidents from 2022 and 2023.

Todd pleaded not guilty, was held on $10,000 bail, and is prohibited from practicing medicine.

Civil lawsuits allege Todd performed unnecessary medical exams for personal gratification.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where Todd worked, fired him in 2023 after anonymous complaints and an internal investigation.

Victims’ attorneys expect the criminal case to expand as investigations continue.
